Alongside a birthday greeting
Someone left me some questions to reflect
Reduction in dosage of depression medicines
Stood out as the best thing that happened in a year
I learned a part of the work that I struggled with for years
I wish to be less dependent on medicines and join an office
I hope to handle the market research reports on my own
I do not have lofty ambitions to achieve in a year
My depression dictates the success of my efforts
Writing poems again gives me a glimmer of hope
To follow my dreams with strength
This poem is based on some questions given by a friend to reflect on the occasion of my birthday. It did make me realize that I have come a long way in the last year. My aims for the next year are simple. But it will depend on how I am able to tame my depression. The images are snapped by Kevin Noble and Nikhita Singhal.
